Images and videos not showing in feed

Hello @themadcatlady

Thanks for the feedback and the test page, appreciated.
Can we check together the settings of the plugin to be sure everything is set properly? They should be available from your admin area at Settings > Bluesky Settings. This option should be unchecked.

Can you confirm you have that activated on your side?

If you changed the value, make sure there is no cache involved. (CTRL + SHIFT + R when on the webpage)

Thank you for trying this, have a good day!

Hi Geoffrey. Thank you for you reply, and yes, that worked. I have tweaked the CSS with a bit of custom code to make the images and videos a bit smaller on the feed, but I am sure all that will be coming with ticky boxes etc. in further versions of your plugin. ??

The only thing now is that the videos aren’t actually playing. They are simply a static image. Could you help?

P.S.: As a feature request, I would also love to see a grid-like feed of posts/pictures, if that’s possible at all… ??

hello @themadcatlady

Thanks for the setting up and the feedback.

The size of the images and block really depend on your theme and where you put it in your page. It’s hard to have a one size fits all solution for a plugin.

For the video, unfortunately at the moment, Bluesky send me a format that is under the form of a playlist (even for one video), which is not natively supported by browsers players. I’m looking at a technical solution to force the ability to play it but I didn’t find a light solution at the moment.

Keep a look at the next versions though, it might come in one or two months.

Thanks again ??

ps. If I may ask, what are the custom CSS you applied for your case?

Hi Geoffrey.

I just checked the feed on my mobile, and the video player works on there okay, just not in my PC browser (I tried Chrome and Brave). I’m definitely looking forward to further updates on this! ??

As for the CSS, it’s just very rough what I did – the font didn’t work with the “inherit” attribute, so I forced it to display things in serif. The video and images in the feed were too big, so I made the 75% instead of 100% width, and I tried and forced some absolute pixel sizes. The lightbox image still appears to be too big though, despite being 75% now it shows up the same as with 100%. Like you say, it probably depends on what the theme says in the CSS. I just never seem to have the time to go through it, since it’s only a hobby site really. ??

Anyway, here is the CSS code I changed:
.bluesky-social-integration-content {font-family: serif; font-weight:normal;}
.bluesky-social-integration-last-post {font-family:serif;}
.bluesky-social-integration-post-gallery {max-width: 75%;}
.bluesky-social-integration-last-post-content video {max-width: 75%;}
.bluesky-lightbox-image {max-width: 75%;}
.bluesky-social-integration-image {height: 100px; width: 900px}
